    Graphics or no graphics?

    Ok, here's the scoop... I just bought a new 2008 210 that was a dealer show boat and it was covered (IMO) by a hideous wrap. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the original griffin and SAN graphics we're included with the boat. However, after taking off the wrap, I'm kinda diggin the all black look. So, what do you think? Should have the graphics put on? Here's a couple pics after removing the wrap.

        I dont think you can go wrong. It does look nice in all black though.

          Either way you go, you can't go wrong. But if you keep it all black, you'll be unique.

            Superclean as is! I'd definitely keep it like this.

              You should think twice about this, because of resale. Personally I woulnd't buy a used boat with no graphics - I would wonder if the boat was re-painted due to an accident or being stolen.

              Just my 2 cents.

                If you have an all black tow vehicle, it would be a sweet looking rig with no graphics.... Of course any thing pulling a Nautique makes for a sweet rig!

                  If he includes the original graphics as part of the sale, I dont see why it would effect resale. I say enjoy the clean lines of the boat, and when it comes time to sell see what happens. If you get a bunch of questions like the post above, put the graphics back on and re-list.

                  I really like the no graphics look on that boat. I usually dont, but with the black and tinted windows it looks great.

                    I'm a big fan of that '08 griffin graphic so I say throw it on! Either way though, you're stoked. Nice ride.

                        Keep it black for a while, and you can always install the graphics at a later date if you get bored with the look. Either way, you have great looking boat!

                          I like the black a lot. For idenity here's an idea. Black chrom x letters with just nautique on the side. Would still give you the all black but would have identity.

                              Either way it's gonna look badass!

                              But im a fan of the original graphics.
